ipfw-rc-script-ipdivert-config.diff

Currently this RC script will load ipdivert.ko only on natd_enable="YES"; this
patch however added another RC variable to load the kernel module along with
ipfw.ko, if enabled.

I uses some ipdivert-based programs that work with ipfw(4), however I don't use
natd(8), so I need another way to automatically load ipdivert.ko without adding
ipdivert_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf, because I don't want ipfw be enabled so
early at boot.

For example to enable ipdivert without natd, add following to /etc/rc.conf:

firewall_enable="YES"
ipdivert_enable="YES"

Of course other ipfw-related variables may be required to complete the whole
configuration.
